The original discussion was not about every LLM assisted app , it was specifically about vibe-coded apps, particularly ones with so little human input that experienced coders can tell they were vibe-coded. Your later comments generalizin

It sounds more like you are equating a totally-vibe coded product with no verified code, with a product thoughtfully written by a human with LLM assistance.

Threatened to attack Taiwan, much like russia has threatened to attack many other countries. Also, China does regularly attack other countries' navies around the South China Sea with no legal justification.

A good variant of that would be to ask participants to wear an "opt in" signal, so we don't end up in a situation where people are burdened by having to repeatedly decline photographers' requests for photos.

like I said, neglecting existing customers in an attempt to gain larger market share is certainly a play the rest of your post seems to hinge on some judgement you think I made about that

I didn't say Twitter is a society, and it doesn't need to be. The joke in the comic is "Mr. Gotcha" trying to counter a desire by people to change things, by pointing out that those people participate in those things. Co

I think the point is that companies are purely legal entities, and as such, cannot feel, much less empathize, simply by virtue of them not being living things

You're confusing the site for the content on it. Some of the content is good, the site sucks and is run by a guy who seig-heils crowds. Even if the content sucked, your post has big "you want to improve `X`, yet you participate i

maybe they have a good severance package and are tired of being impotent to curb matt's nonsense

It's so weird how all your posts show absolutely no consideration or praise for anyone except Matt. Like everyone else in the world is an NPC whose perspective can be ignored or overruled by this one dude.

that seems reasonable, as it is the lowest common denominator for interoperability what would be unfortunate is if it was in some format that couldn't be used by most other systems without extra work, and if the user wasn't able t

I guess you could call capitalism a conspiracy theory if you want, but it doesn't change the fact that, yes, it exists.

Surely some understanding of the lean proof is required, to make sure it proves what it claims to prove. Otherwise, what happens if the LLM includes an underhanded addition to the lean code which leads it to output a false positive?

You are simply incorrect. It is not a fallacy of that type, or any other type, because the words do, in fact, mean the same thing, as multiple people have pointed out here. Whether referring to chatbots or people, "prompt" means &

They used words to mean what the words mean. What specific issue do you take with that? "prompt", as in prompting an AI, has the same definition as "prompt", as in prompting a person. They mean the same thing, that'

Whether they opted out would help assess the degree of wrongdoing, but regardless, using their own data to try to scoop them is unethical.
